The Booth Rental Starter Kit

Thinking about going booth rental, but you have no idea if you’re actually ready?

The beauty industry is the wild, wild west. There’s hardly any real world guidance on the business side. Some salon owners will sell you a dream to fill a chair, and nobody teaches you how to leave your salon, what you’re allowed to take with you, or how to run everything the salon used to handle for you.

I’m Shannon. Before hair, I worked in corporate and earned my bachelor’s in Business Management. When I asked for more money and they said no, I bet on myself and left. Then I booth rented straight out of cosmetology school and built a six figure business. I’ve worked alongside so many girls who wanted to go booth rental and were so lost and overwhelmed they had no idea where to start. So I made this kit to help.

7 printable guides. 71 pages. Everything from “should I?” to day one.

This kit shares what I’ve learned. It isn’t legal, tax or financial advice. Licensing, booth rental rules, contracts and taxes vary by state, so check your state board’s rules and talk to a lawyer or accountant about anything you’re unsure of. Results aren’t guaranteed. Personal use only, please don’t share or resell.
